The Bulletin Board keeps you abreast of the latest news
around the NHL Monday-Friday.

- On Saturday, Vancouver and Florida completed the first
big trade of the season.The Canucks
sent Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm to the Panthers for David Booth, Steve
Reinprecht and a third-round pick.Booth, 26, has been a 30-goal scorer but injuries have derailed his
career.If Booth returns to form, he
could become a terrific wing for Ryan Kesler on Vancouver’s second line.Florida is an extremely young team with
plenty of cap space, so why the Panthers made this move is puzzling.Perhaps the team feels that Booth will never
be the same, but at just 26-years-old it may have been too early to give up on
him.Both Samuelsson and Sturm have expiring
contracts, so perhaps Florida is hoping to make a big run at one of next summer’s
free agents, but the Panthers have never been a popular free agent destination.

- The Columbus Blue Jackets were in line to pick up their first
win of the season on Saturday when they led the Ottawa Senators 3-2 with under
a minute left in regulation.But in true
Columbus fashion, the Jackets allowed
two goals in 31 seconds to blow the game and drop to 0-7-1 on the season.

- There are two other games on the schedule
tonight beside New York @ Winnipeg.The surprising Maple Leafs will look to continue their early season run
against Philadelphia and the hapless Canadiens will play host to the new-look
Florida Panthers.
